That is what I am trying to figure out. I have to ruminate on it for about a week to think of the correct path of action, but once you figure it out you just keep repeating it or support those who have already organized.

#5..I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but I plain don't agree with you!

[george wythe]

He defied judicial fiat. He broke no state or federal law. There is a difference

The federal court found him in violation of the supreme law of the land, the US Constitution.

For several decades, the US Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment was incorporated to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Even our current conservative justices in the SCOTUS consider the First Amendment as binding to the states.

In order to give the powers back to the states, we need to appoint judges who do not think that the First Amendmend applies to the states.

Finding such judges will be difficult. Once a branch of government has grabbed power, it will not let go easily. That's why federal judges, even conservative Supreme Court Justices, will continue to rule that the First Amendment applies to the states, and they will continue to decide state issues using the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

Figured this was coming. I wonder what he will do next.

Thank you for admitting that you do think that non-Christians are second class citizens

And for admitting that anyone who opposes a theocracy is "antiChrist", according to you.

Fortunately for us, we are protected from people like you by the Bill of Rights and people who will struggle to uphold it.

The irony is that while most (not all) of the Framers were themselves Christians, most did not believe in making Christianity part of the government. Madison argued against it, John Adams signed a treaty that proclaimed it was not.

There were a few exceptions (Patrick Henry, Luther Martin), but they merely prove the rule. They did propose what amounted to Establishment, and yet the Constitution was written and ratified without any reference to God, the Bible, or Christianity (save the ambigious matter of the date).

Nonsense. The government should take no position on religion-complete neutrality

In that case, why are the courts erasing Christianity from the public sphere - their 50 year ongoing crusade to erase Christian symbols and faith? If the people in a community want the 10 commandments in their courthouse, who is the tyrnat in a black robe to say they can't? The 1st amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." Does a county courthouse = Congress? Does the 10 commandments = "making law"? huh?

This is a nation of laws, not of men.

Sure glad they didn't feel that way just before the American Revolution.

[pickyourpoison]

Thank you.
I've always believed we had freedom of religion not freedom from religion.

[wardaddy]

and the Dems blocked Pryor in DC.....what a strange world.

[Porterville]

Can you imagine if the Mormons tried setting up a state like Utah today??? They'd be tossed in jail and replaced by 9 circuit perverts who would make Salt Lake City, San Francisco by the Lake.

What ever, except possibly a deranged Sunday School teacher, ever gave you the idea that any of those (Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, Pasteur, Farraday) were Christian?

"Here we are concerned with the book of nature, so greatly celebrated in sacred writings. It is in this that Paul proposes to the Gentiles that they should contemplate God like the Sun in water or in a mirror. Why then as Christians should we take any less delight in its contemplation, since it is for us with true worship to honor God, to venerate him, to wonder at him? The more rightly we understand the nature and scope of what our God has founded, the more devoted the spirit in which that is done." -- Kepler, The Secret of the Universe

"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being...This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as the Lord over all." -- Newton, Principia Mathematica

Would it not be great if the people of Alabama turned right around and re-elected Moore for the same postion?

[WackyKat]

If you really have such a martyr complex that you want to be persecuted, you should move to a Muslim country.

They have a theocracy-see how you like it!

[m1-lightning]

It obviously upsets you to no end that non-Christians are treated as equal citizens in this society.

That's like saying that non-smokers would be treated as equal citizens by prohibiting smoking in public view.

[george wythe]

The 1st amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." Does a county courthouse = Congress?

That's what the US Supreme Court has said.

The Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the First Amendment to the states.

[Guenevere]

#39..The question is....Does he get to keep his rock?

You know, you are really stepping over the edge....

I post very little on FR anymore, and today I remember why!

[Porterville]

That is what I want him to announce, "Once elected I will put a larger monument inside the court house"

[Zack Nguyen]

This is a nation of laws, not of men.

That's right - and Justice Moore was trying to obey the Highest Law.
